  “Taking over Heavy Metal Magazine for Halloween is one of the things we are most excited
  about this coming season. Heavy Metal Magazine is iconic and it’s an honour to appear on the
  cover and to actually be able to write a few comics of our own for the issue. A lot of people
  aren’t aware of this but we actually got our start in the comic book industry, so being able to
  connect the place where we started in comics to where we are working now in horror, drag and
  television is a full circle moment and we couldn’t be more thrilled,” said Dracmorda Boulet.
  Added Swanthula Boulet: “We were also really excited to be able to work with our friend Steve
  Orlando on this who we feel is one of the most driven comic book writers working today. Steve
  worked with us and some of our friends from the drag and horror space to also develop their
  own stories for the issue, so you’re going to see original comics from Katya, Alaska, Yvie Oddly
  and (American Horror Story director) Axelle Carolyn as well. They all did a great job and we
  can’t wait for audiences to see the finished product.”

  “The Boulet Brothers and Heavy Metal—what an incredible pairing to help bring together for this
  Halloween!” remarked Steve Orlando. “Here we've got a meeting of icons known for subversion,
  pushing the envelope, questioning the expected and unquestionably pushing creativity forward.
  Whether it's comics, prose, drag, horror, filth, or glamour, these icons are more than
  trendsetters—they're trendbusters, trendbreakers. So am I excited to be part of this first of its
• 
  kind Halloween Takeover? Hell yes! There's an awesome Halloween artefact coming your way
  from all involved, including first-ever comics work from pro wrestler and blimp-enthusiast
  Danhausen and co-creator of the blazing new hit horror comics anthology Razorblades, Steve
  Foxe!”

  Heavy Metal CEO Matthew Medney said: "Heavy Metal is always about pushing the envelope,
  pushing the narrative, and creating conversation in the pop culture zeitgeist. Teaming up with
  The Boulet Brothers helps to move forward our narrative of inclusion, freedom of choice, and
  being your most beautiful self. We cannot wait to share this issue dreamed up by the crazy
  glamorous, disgustingly outrageous minds of Swanthula and Dracmorda Boulet, and many
  incredibly talented nightmarish creators, in this audacious tale told through the Heavy Metal
  lens.”
